Unofficial Picture: 2014 Audi A3 Cabriolet

This is the new Audi A3
Cabriolet, revealed in a series of leaked images on a Chinese website.

Audi’s compact cabriolet wasn't supposed to be shown until the Frankfurt
Motor Show next week, but this gives us an early glimpse of what to
expect.

Clearly based on the A3 Saloon, rather than the hatchback, it
continues to use a fabric-folding roof like its predecessor instead of
opting for an origami-style folding metal hardtop - something that
should help to keep costs to a minimum.

The engine line-up is likely to be carried over from the current A3
range, meaning a choice of various TDI and TFSI engines will be
available. An S3 version of the cabriolet is also expected, which will
feature a 296bhp 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine. Power will
be delivered to all four wheels, meaning the sprint from 0-62mph should
takes less than 5.5 seconds.

We'll have more details when the Audi A3 Cabriolet debuts at the
Frankfurt Motor Show next week, before going on sale early next year. For more details click here.
